I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

    You are right in principle. New words can pop up. Them being accepted however is not just a matter of a few people using them and saying that it is so.

    It’s about usage and being accepted in larger groups or areas. Language is defined by what’s surviving a generation or two. Everything else is slang.
